The contest’s organising board said the prize winning logo, inspired by the star in Vietnam’s national flag, shows the reviewed vitality of a newly-emerging Vietnam with its unique national identity, while the slogan reflects the uniqueness, independence, and new vision of Vietnam – an attractive destination in Asia.
The organising board presented the second prize to the logo “Vietnam – a country of smile” and the third prize to “Vietnam – the pride of Asia”.
The contest, held by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), aims to promote Vietnam’s image to attract more international visitors within the framework of the national tourism development programme for the 2011-2015 period and the national tourism development strategy for the 2010-2020 period and vision for 2030.
